    I see the brown stuff come out of my galaxy polyps and my mushrooms do it from time to time.The white stuff is when they get irritated by something and it is usually a defensive measure.

    Actually, they answered you pretty well. They were both correct.

    In Blue, coral poo.

    In Yellow, mesenterial filaments. They either had too much to eat and can't pull them back in right now or they just got done fighting with a neighboring coral.
